Friday-only times provided by theater websites and may have changed. Check www.moviefone.com.

New this week:

"All Together," "Playing for Keeps"

All Together

Not rated, 86 minutes. Profanity, some violence.

Jane Fonda, Geraldine Chaplin. Five aging, feisty friends in France move into one apartment to share on costs and end up learning a lot about each other. Yes, Fonda speaks French throughout the film. Subtitled.

All Saints Cinema: 6

Alex Cross

PG-13, 101 minutes. Profanity, violence, disturbing images.

Tyler Perry, Matthew Fox. In Detroit, a forensic psychologist and police detective tracks the psychopath who killed his wife. Perry is overly serious and trying too hard to act tough in this cliche-happy thriller directed by Rob Cohen ("The Fast and the Furious"). Based on the beloved character developed by writer James Patterson and usually played more believably by Morgan Freeman. (C)

Movies 8: 12:05, 2:20, 4:35, 6:55, 9:15

Argo

R, 120 minutes. Profanity, violence, graphic executions.

Ben Affleck, Alan Arkin. During the Iranian hostage crisis in 1980, a CIA agent disguises himself as a Hollywood producer and uses stranded Americans who are hiding out in Tehran to pose as his film crew. Intense, nail-biting, smart political thriller directed by Affleck ("The Town"). Based on a true story. Arkin is terrific comedic relief as a foul-mouthed director who isn't scared of ex-wives or religious loonies in the Middle East. With Bryan Cranston and John Goodman. Highly recommended. One of the best films of the year. (A)

Tallahassee Mall: 1:35, 4:20, 7:05, 9:50

Cloud Atlas

R, 172 minutes. Profanity, violence, sexual content, nudity.

Tom Hanks, Halle Berry. Six interlocking stories, featuring the same actors wearing obviously fake latex masks and wigs, try too hard to dazzle in this ambitious tale about slavery, escape and goat-herding. The multi-character approach comes off as more of a gimmick than a comment about reincarnation. Give 'em points for trying, though. Cast includes Hugo Weaving, Hugh Grant and Jim Broadbent. Written and directed by Tom Tykwer ("Run Lola Run") and Andy and Lana Wachowski ("The Matrix") from David Mitchell's critically hailed novel. (B-)

IMAX: 7 only

The Collection

R, 82 minutes. Profanity, graphic violence, gore.

Emma Fitzpatrick, Josh Stewart. The wealthy father of a young woman who has been kidnapped by a psychopathic killer hires ruthless mercenaries to hunt down the killer and save the girl. Ah, but first they must make their way through a booby-trapped house. Yikes. The sequel to "The Collector" (2009).

Governors Square: 1:55, 7:35

Tallahassee Mall: 11 a.m., 1:15, 3:30, 5:45, 8, 10:15

Deep Sea 3D

Not rated, 45 minutes. Big sharks, violence in nature.

Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet narrate this underwater dive beneath the waves to get a really close look at such exotic sea creatures as the wolf eel, the Giant Pacific Octopus, sea turtles and sharks. Lots and lots of hungry, snappy, big-toothed sharks.

IMAX: 2, 6

Dinosaur: Passage to Pangaea

Not rated, 42 minutes.

When two children embark on a geology field trip back in time, they are thrown into a stop-motion 3D animated voyage where they witness fantastical wonders and learn the mysterious process that created our present-day continents.

Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Peņa. Police patrol partners who are best friends in Los Angeles are targeted for death after a routine traffic stop unleashes the wrath of a ruthless drug cartel. Directed by David Ayer, who made the equally brutal "Training Day" (2001).

Governors Square: 4:50, 9:55

Tallahassee Mall: 1:20, 3:55, 6:30, 9:05, 11:40

Flight

R, 139 minutes. Profanity, drug use, sexual content, nudity.

Denzel Washington, Kelly Reilly. A boozy, cocaine-snorting pilot who likes to truly fly high crashes his mechanically damaged passenger jet and emerges as a flawed hero in this mixed bag of a story about loss, lawyers and redemption. The scenes of the jet crash are totally terrifying, Washington is top notch (as usual) but the story is strangely unsatisfying. With John Goodman and Don Cheadle. Directed by Bob Zemeckis ("Forest Gump," "Cast Away"). (B-)

Governors Square: 1:15, 4:10, 7:05, 9:50

Tallahassee Mall: 1:10, 4:15, 7:20, 10:25

Here Comes the Boom

PG, 105 minutes. Violence, blood, sexual humor.

Kevin James, Salma Hayek. Thanks to budget slashing, a biology teacher in his 40s moonlights as a mixed-martial arts fighter to save his high school's music program. With Henry Winkler and Mookie Barker. Directed by Frank Coraci ("Zookeeper," "The Waterboy").

Movies 8: 12:15, 2:30, 4:45, 7:10, 9:25

Hotel Transylvania

PG, 91 minutes. Comic violence, bathroom humor, scary elements.

Voices of Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg. Hormones surge when a backpacking American teenager crashes Dracula's exclusive resort for monsters and falls in love with the bloodsucker's daughter. Computer-animated comedy also features the voices of Selena Gomez, Kevin James, Fran Drescher, Steve Buscemi and CeeLo Green.

Movies 8: 12:30, 2:35, 4:40, 7

Killing Them Softly

R, 97 minutes. Foul language, extreme violence.

Brad Pitt, Richard Jenkins. Set in the bleak back alleys of post-Katrina New Orleans, an enforcer for the mob visits the Crescent City with a mission to kill the bungling robbers who knocked over a poker game that was run by the mob. Directed by Andrew Dominik ("The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford") and based on a novel by George V. Higgins ("The Friends of Eddie Coyle").

Governors Square: 1:40, 4:30, 7:20, 10:25

Tallahassee Mall: 11:50 a.m., 2:20, 4:50, 7:20, 9:50, 12:15 a.m.

Life of Pi

PG, 127 minutes. Violence, scary images.

Suraj Sharma, Tabu. After a freighter ship that was hauling zoo animals sinks in the ocean, a teenager and a Bengal tiger are forced to share a lifeboat. Ang Lee's adaptation of Yann Martel's literary best-seller relies on an international cast and lots of digital special effects to tell the survivors' tale.

Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field. While the Civil War is grinding to a bloody close, President Abraham Lincoln uses all of his aw-shucks charm and cagey political maneuvering to force Congress to free the slaves with the passing of the 13th Amendment. Director Steven Spielberg's bio-pic is overly talkative and mired in the business of politics but Day-Lewis is phenomenal as Honest Abe. A total lived-in performance that carries the movie. The cast includes John Hawkes, Jared Harris, Hal Holbrook, Tommy Lee Jones, James Spader and Jackie Earle Haley. (B+)

Governors Square: 1, 3:55, 6:50, 9:40

Tallahassee Mall: 11 a.m., 12:45, 2:30, 4:15, 6:15, 7:45, 9:45, 11:15

The Man with the Iron Fists

R, 95 minutes. Extreme violence, sexual content.

RZA, Russelle Crowe. During the 19th century in China, the village blacksmith who fashions elaborate weapons and armor must come to the defense of his villagers when assassins and warriors show up in town looking for a fabled stash of treasure. Martial arts movie directed by RZA. With Lucy Liu, Byron Mann and Jamie Chung.

Movies 8: 9:30 only

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

PG-13, 104 minutes. Profanity, bullying, drug use, sexual humor.

Emma Watson, Logan Lerman. At the dawn of the '90s, a shy and completely uncool freshman has to navigate his way through the social jungle of high school. If that sounds like a John Hughes movie from the '80s, well, you are not far off the mark. Based on the popular book of the same name.

Movies 8: 12:25, 2:50, 5:05, 7:20, 9:35

Pitch Perfect

PG-13, 112 minutes. Profanity, sexual humor, snark to spare.

Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow. The squeaky-clean singing group that wins all the awards in college competitions is challenged by an a capella outfit that doesn't require everyone to look like Barbie. Musical comedy that was obviously inspired by the success of "Glee." Directed by Jason Moore, who also comes directly from TV.

Movies 8: noon, 2:25, 4:50, 7:15, 9:40

Playing For Keeps

PG-13, 106 minutes. Profanity, sexual humor and content.

Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel. An ex-soccer star from Europe who is still attracted to his ex-wife in America tries to be a better father to his young son while mom is about to remarry in this romantic comedy. Cast includes Uma Thurman, Dennis Quaid and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Opens today.

Governors Square: 1:30, 4:25, 7:15, 10:20

Tallahassee Mall: 1:15, 4, 6:45, 9:30, 12:15 a.m.

Red Dawn

PG-13, 114 minutes. Profanity, violence, commie-bashing.

Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck. Godless North Korean soldiers invade and enslave the fine citizens of Spokane, Wash., and it's up to several impossibly handsome high-schoolers and a veteran from the Iraqi Occupation to save the day with urban-guerilla warfare. Even if you buy the impossibly dumb premise, it is a pretty awful piece of slick, war-glorifying product. North Korea was substituted for China after filmmakers feared that the anti-China sentiments would hurt the box office overseas. A remake of the 1984 film starring Patrick Swayze. (D)

Governors Square: 1:45, 4:35, 7:25, 10:15

Tallahassee Mall: 1:10, 3:30, 5:50, 8:10, 10:30

Rise of the Guardians

PG, 97 minutes. Some violence, scary images.

Voices of Jude Law, Alec Baldwin. An evil boogeyman named Pitch Black schemes to overthrow the magical realm of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy in this computer-animated fantasy. Also featuring the voices of Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher and Chris Pine.

Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell. An irate gangster seeks bloody revenge on the professional dog-napper who snatched his beloved Shih Tzu while a screenwriter struggles with a script in Los Angeles. With Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken and Tom Waits. Truly oddball and jet-black comedy directed by Martin McDonagh ("In Bruges"), who gives Quentin Tarantino a run for his money. (B+)

Movies 8: 12:20, 2:40, 5, 7:30, 9:50

Sinister

R, 110 minutes. Profanity, extreme violence, scary special effects.

Ethan Hawke, Juliet Rylance. A true-crime novelist discovers a supernatural entity that lives in the footage of home movies he uncovers in his family's new home. Directed and co-written by Scott Derrickson ("The Exorcism of Emily Rose").

Movies 8: 12:35, 2:45, 4:55, 7:25, 9:45

Skyfall

PG-13, 143 minutes. Profanity, violence, smoking, komodo dragons.

Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem. Great Britain's spy agency is sabotaged by a computer hacker and undercover agents are suddenly exposed in this latest James Bond action pic. The story is too long and dark (thanks a lot, "Dark Knight") but Bardem is riveting as a psycho-terrorist who tries to twist 007's loyalty. The story comes alive any time Bardem appears on the scene. Directed by Sam Mendes ("American Beauty," "Road to Perdition"). With Dame Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes and Ben Whishaw. (B)

Governors Square: 1:10, 4:05, 6:55, 9:45

Tallahassee Mall: 12:15, 2, 3:45, 5:30, 7:15, 9, 10:45

Taken 2

PG-13, 91 minutes. Profanity, lots of violence and explosions.

Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen. Why does this keep happening? Retired CIA operative Bryan Mills is back chasing bad guys across Istanbul after his ex-wife is kidnapped by the father of the Albanian scumbag who snatched his daughter in Paris. Or something like that. Sequel to the surprise hit "Taken" (2008).

Movies 8: 12:10, 2:15, 4:20, 7:05, 9:10

Talaash: The Answer Lies Within

Not rated, 137 minutes. Violence, adult themes.

Aamir Khan, Rani Mukerji. After a very popular movie star in India dies following a watery plunge in his car, a police inspector picks up the case and finds that there may have been lots of foul play.

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson. After the birth of Renesmee, the child's vampire parents gather with other well-dressed bloodsuckers in order to protect the child from being killed by a hammy actor in the conclusion of the supernatural romance series. The lamest series of vampire films in cinema history finally comes to a close. Put a stake in it. Directed by Bill Condon ("Gods and Monsters"). With Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed. (C)

Governors Square: 1:50, 4:40, 7:25, 10:10

Tallahassee Mall: 11:30 a.m., 1, 2:30, 4, 5:30, 7, 8:30, 10, 11:30

Wreck-It-Ralph

PG, 101 minutes. Violence, bathroom humor.

Voices of John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman. In this rollicking and loving salute to the arcade games of the late '80s and early '90s, a house-crushing villain in the "Fix-It-Felix Jr." world gets tired of being an outcast so he hops into other machines with frustrating results. Disney's computer-animated comedy has a brain working beneath all the mayhem and banter, even if you know exactly where the plot is going. Also featuring the voices of Jane Lynch and Jack McBrayer. (B+)

Governors Square: 1:25, 4:15, 7:10, 10:05

Tallahassee Mall: 11:15 a.m., 2, 4:45, 7:30, 10:15
